ANOTHER IDENTITY CRISIS
See Paul's comment below loco is 40194.
This could be 40184 but I'm not certain. There are a few marks on the front end which might help and I'm sure I'm missing something obvious! With the light pretty contre-jour there are few highlights to decipher the number.
So for the present this is an unidentified class40 heading loaded ballast towards Sutton Bridge Junction in Shrewsbury and passing Kemps Eye circa July 1982. The train will have left Bayston Hill Quarry and headed south to Dorrington to run round before heading north.
Bayston Hill Quarry remains open but sadly does not have a rail connection relying on the roads for it's product.
40194 withdrawn 23-1-85 at Doncaster Works. Cut by 27-2-85
